summer time

Spring is in the air. Time to plan your camping trips, road trips, vacations or whatever you do when nice weather hits. What follows nice weather, though, is not always nice. Those pesky mosquitos!

While most grown-ups long for the days when they could take spring break, kids usually seem to get bored. But how do you keep them busy so they don't get into trouble?

When I was a kid my parents, brother and I always took at least one family vacation a year, whether it be to the Great Lakes in Michigan, the Snake River in Washington state, the train in Four Corners, Colo., or to Devil's Tower in my own backyard.
